Question about the ls command


Hello;

I am new to cygwin, as I have just installed it on a Windows 2000 system,
so I hope this question is not a faq.

With the "ls -l"  command, the modification date of Windows files is
shown, however, the format of this date varies. On files from a previous
year, the year of last modificatation is included in the output, but on
files that were recently created, the year is not included. Is there a way
to get ls to display the modification date in a consistent format,
regardless of when the file was last modified? I don't really care what
the format is, as long as it is consistent so that I can write some
scripts to parse the output of ls easily.
